GEORGE COURT CHARACTER PENTHOUSE

High above the city with wide views to Rangitoto, the harbour and bridge, this expansive, light and airy penthouse is the perfect city retreat. Yet a quick descent by a grand central stairway or one of two lifts lands you right in the centre of vibrant K Rd with its boutiques, cafes and restaurants. The best of both worlds. \n\nAs part of the gracious old George Courts building, high coved ceilings, original steel windows and rich timber floors lift this way beyond the ordinary to the extraordinary.\n\nAnd it's versatile. Currently an over-sized (170 square metres plus 70 metres of decks) one-bedroom apartment with spacious living, separate dining, office and large central area, it's the ultimate professional couple or bachelor pad but, with two potential office spaces and CBD fringe location, it could make an ideal work from home scenario. Or you can reconfigure the spaces to create more bedrooms - it's your choice. Two secure carparks complete the picture.\n\nWhichever way you use it, you can step from the living areas out to the sun-drenched north-facing, wrap-around balcony and the views. A second balcony faces east for the morning sun. \n\nMoments to motorway access but also parks and the waterfront, this is your opportunity to own a truly inimitable piece of Auckland's history.\n\nThis sky home is surplus to the owner's requirements - he now demands a sale prior to Christmas.\n\nFeatures: Oversized master bedroom with its own north-east facing deck, one bathroom, guest toilet, two living areas currently configured as two offices but could be use as an office/study plus lounge or as two lounges - there's enough space for anything you have in mind. Open plan kitchen and dining or dine alfresco on your huge deck. There is the bonus of nearly 170 square metres of basement storage space under the floors. \n\nViewing by appointment. \n\n\n* Click here for LIM, CV and rates\n* Click here for interactive floor plan\n* Click here to view Ariel's website\n* If you would like to receive our weekly electronic newsletter which includes new listings and current market news, please click here\n
